Item No: 7B Meeting Date: April 24, 2006 Type of Business: Action City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mounds View City Council From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution 6794, Approving a Final Plat and Development Agreement for the “Hidden Hollow South” Major Subdivision; Planning Case MA2006-001 Introduction: Dan Saplis Inc., represented by Dan Saplis, has submitted an application for a major subdivision of parcels on the north side of Woodale Drive, between the City’s western City limits and the property addressed at 3033 Woodale. The proposed 2.71 acre subdivision would create 6 buildable lots from the existing two lots. The Hidden Hollow South development will be a welcome improvement to this site, and nice complement to the Hidden Hollow project to the north. Discussion: On February 27, 2006, the City Council approved Resolution 6748, which approved the preliminary plat of the Hidden Hollow major subdivision. All created parcels satisfy the minimum lot requirements. With the exception of a few changes, the final plat is not much different than the preliminary plat. The resolution presented for Council approval which approves the final plat and Development Agreement, stipulates that before City signatures are placed on the final plat, the developer shall have paid the $20,160 park dedication fee. In addition, the resolution requires that several other requirements be completed prior to the City signing the final plat. Resolution 6794, which grants final plat and development agreement approval, is attached for the Council’s . Joe Rhein, from Bonestoo, Rosene, Anderlik and Associates (BRAA), reviewed the final plat and had comments regarding the enlargement of some easements within the Hidden Hollow South lots, along with adjusting the roadway placement three feet to the east due to existing manholes. These changes are reflected in the final plat that is attached to this report. In response to the City Council’s suggestion to check if there were any trees on the site that should be saved, Rick Wriskey, the City Forrester visited the site. The vegetation is located mainly at the front and west side of the property. He concluded that there are not any trees of value on the site and very few are larger sized trees.
